"I Don't Want To Tie You Down"
1973 Todd Rundgren

Sometimes it’s hard to look up under
The times we’re going through
I scratch my head and stare and wonder
How to face the day anew
But it gives my life a bit more meaning
To feel in love with you

So heavy - I don’t want to weigh you down
Oh baby - I don’t want to tie you down

I don’t want a thing to mar this ever
The picture that we make
The balance of our minds together
The perfect give and take
For me to let my love possess you
Would be the worst mistake

I’m sorry - I don’t want to bring you down
Oh baby - I don’t want to tie you down
Oh jesus - I don’t want to nail you down
Oh baby - I don’t want to tie you down
